Surgical management of ankyloses of the temporomandibular joint by a piezoelectric device

Piezosurgery is commonly used in different field of craniomaxillofacial surgery; since its introduction it has become one of the widely adopted technique for performing osteotomies in orthognathic surgery, distraction osteogenesis and dentoalveolar surgery. Little has been written regarding ultrasonic system for temporomandibular joint surgery (TMJ). In this prospective study we describe the use of piezoelectric device for ankylosis of the TMJ.
